One of several ‘urban oases’ in the Rio Grande Valley - this one is in Weslaco
All the sites in this section are treated, in detail and with precise maps and directions, in my book ‘Finding Birds in South Texas’
If you have any information which you feel would help to update the book, please email me at dave@easybirder.co.uk and I’ll add your observations to these pages

Valley Nature Center
It doesn’t look much from the outside but if you walk through this visitor center...
...you enter into a different world, quiet, peaceful and with birds flocking to feeders
It’s worth waiting in the car park at dusk to look for parrots and or parakeets flying to roost. You may be able to follow their flightlines to work out where the roost is.
